Overall Satisfaction with Scale Computing HC3

They do the best they can. The issues I have were just no answers surrounding V2V (reliance on a 2rd party tool doesn't help) and easier backups.
It is being used across an entire physical location, around 100 people. It hosts the core virtual machine infrastructure, which is 100% Windows.
  • Simple
  • Good Support
  • V2V is a complete nightmare. We ended up just giving up. This is half the reason we don't recommend Scale any longer.
  • Backups are a pain. VEEAM spoils you. With Scale you have to manage each endpoint at its layer. Frustrating, and the other half of the reason we don't recommend Scale.
Active Directory and other critical systems. Unfortunately, the greater cost of the Scale setup is only compounded by the extra time you spend managing backups.
  • No change.
Great for environment with simple needs and light-touch IT staff. It really is very simple and does what it does quite well.
